Last Updated on Monday, 20 May 2013 11:15

The U13 Juggling competition results are in, and there are some phenomenal scores.

A new record has been set on the girls side as Kayla Kunihisa of Hawaii Rush went for 7,891 juggles! But Kayla was not alone as the top three results on the girls side all went to players from Hawaii! The boys competition was won by Zachary Harrison of the Michigan Northville Swoosh team with 1,172.

"I tried my hardest to beat the high score," said Kayla. "I kept on telling myself, 'Keep on Going, and don't drop the ball.' I did not think I could do 1/2 of what I did!"

"I was excited to hear I had won," commented Zachary. "I have been working on improving my juggling for a while now. The competition pushed me to try harder. I still have a lot of work to do to get as good as the Rush player I saw during the Rush Fest opening ceremonies."

You can see all the results below.

A huge thanks to all those that participated and took the time to tabulate the data and send it in to Rush Soccer. The effect this national press has on your young players, will undoubtedly inspire them to bigger and better things. This is a small example of the players and the clubs that embrace the challenges in front of them and work hard to achieve the best they can.

Even a small competition such as this can demonstrate many of the Rush Core Values as a teaching point that our clubs offer for our players. The TENACITY and ENJOYMENT it takes to continue to juggle every practice to try and beat the record, the PASSION to not put the ball down for over 4000 juggles, the LEADERSHIP shown by the clubs to encouraged their players to participate, and the Clubs holding their coaches and players ACCOUNTABLE to follow through.

Here are the winners, the Rush records and a breakdown of the clubs and their scores
